Features: This book is one of the "21st Century Legal Studies Series." Aviation law is a newly emerging legal discipline that gradually formed in the early 20th century with the invention of airplanes and the development of aviation technology. Today, aviation not only holds an important position in national defense but has also become the main mode of transportation and communication internationally, thus occupying a significant place in the politics, economy, and culture of various countries. This book discusses aspects such as the legal status of airspace, the 1944 Chicago Convention, the bilateral system of international aviation management, irregular flights and chartered flights, the international aviation fee system, the Warsaw Convention and its revision documents, the scope of application of the Warsaw Convention and its liability system, passenger and cargo liability rules, other aspects of liability, rights to aircraft, and aviation criminal law, thereby highlighting the existence value of aviation law as a new and independent discipline.
